This year...

... the plan is for success in vegetable gardening. Our previous years have been pretty unsuccessful as far as producing anything edible. This year we are getting serious. Now that it's our house we are taking over the yard and my lovely husband has built two raised beds to give the plants a better chance. So far we've planted strawberries, beets, radishes, lettuce, swiss chard and spinach. Thanks to my Grandparents for sending us some seeds! I'm not sure how good the cool weather plants are going to do in this crazy warm weather we've been having.

Here's Alaina checking out the strawberries. I've been letting the kids water the geraniums up front because (hopefully) they can't do any harm to those flowers.

Fingers crossed for a good growing season :)



Asparagus that had to be planted in a trench. Brian claims it looks like we buried a body in the back yard , lol!
